ALTER ALIAS Command
INITIAL-PROGRAM [prog-path]
changes the initial program pathname within the OSS environment for the 
alias. prog-path is a case-sensitive text string of up to 256 characters. It 
must be a syntactically valid OSS pathname. If you specify the INITIAL-
DIRECTORY attribute, it must be the last attribute in the command string.
This feature is not currently implemented on NonStop systems. It is reserved 
for future use.
If you omit prog-path, the string is set to null (no pathname).
INITIAL-PROGTYPE [prog-type]
changes the initial program type within the OSS environment for the alias.
prog-type 
is one of these:
PROGRAM
SERVICE
WINDOW
This feature is not currently implemented on NonStop systems. It is reserved 
for future use.
If you omit prog-type, the initial program type is set to PROGRAM.
CI-PROG [prog-filename]
changes the command interpreter to be started after this alias is authenticated 
at a Safeguard terminal. prog-filename is the name of the command 
interpreter’s object file. It must be a local file name.
If prog-filename is omitted, the other user-attributes associated with 
CI-PROG prog-filename in this record are not meaningful. 
CI-LIB [lib-filename]
changes the library file to be used with the command interpreter that is started 
when this alias is authenticated at a Safeguard terminal. lib-filename must 
be a local file name.
If you omit lib-filename, no library file is used.
CI-CPU [cpu-number | ANY]
changes the number of the CPU in which the command interpreter is to run. If 
you specify ANY, any CPU is used.
If you omit cpu-number, any CPU is used.
